#### Summary
- Improved email inbox setup flow to handle cases where inbound email
forwarding is not configured on the installation
- Added conditional display of email forwarding address based on
MAILER_INBOUND_EMAIL_DOMAIN environment variable availability
- Enhanced user messaging to guide users toward configuring SMTP/IMAP
settings when forwarding is unavailable
#### Changes
**Backend (app/views/api/v1/models/_inbox.json.jbuilder)**
- Added forwarding_enabled boolean flag to inbox API response based on
MAILER_INBOUND_EMAIL_DOMAIN presence
- Made forward_to_email conditional - only included when forwarding is
enabled
**Frontend - Inbox Creation Flow**
- Created new EmailInboxFinish.vue component to handle email inbox setup
completion
- Shows different messages based on whether forwarding is enabled:
- With forwarding: displays forwarding address and encourages SMTP/IMAP
configuration
- Without forwarding: warns that SMTP/IMAP configuration is required for
emails to be processed
- Added link to configuration page for easy access to SMTP/IMAP settings
